that goes without saying to all but the most stupid
Theres some crazy sht thinking, 'Perth shouldnt get a team unless Storm produce jnrs' lol. Nice one.
The NRL doesn't have a draft to ensure all clubs have access to talented juniors. The Melbourne Storm model is based on raiding talented juniors from heartland regions that aren't serviced properly by the NRL. Gosford. Sunshine Coast. Rockhampton. SEQ, with a big emphasis on southern Brisbane. NZ. PNG.
We've now got the Dolphins covering Rockhampton and muscling in on Sunshine Coast.
PNG is set to get the 18th licence.
Brisbane Tigers will cover southern Brisbane.
New Zealand 2 and the Warriors' improving professionalism will limit the Storm's ability to raid talent from that country.
So where's the talent going to come from?
Heartland clubs have been poor at identifying talent under their noses in the past, but they're starting to wake up. The extra funding they're getting from the ARLC is helping them narrow the gap between them and the Storm in this department.
Look at what the Broncos have done with Luke Walsh and Ezra Mam!
Walters' son has blossomed under his father's coaching. Broncos are back to being a force to be reckoned with.
What makes you think Perth will be able to do what the Storm have done?
The only advantage Perth will have over Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney is lower cost of living. A $500k contract in Perth will go further than one on the east coast. The tyranny of distance still might deter players from making the move.
They've only just started Jnr pathways due to a $5.5mill hand out from Aus Govt. The whole PNG thing is built on a pack of cards.
How is that any different to Australian NRL and AwFuL clubs receiving funding to build high performance training centres and stadia?
Broncos were given a considerable sum by the Abbott Gov to upgrade their facilities at Red Hill.
It’s what’s best for rugby league
if the storm can’t produce juniors after 30 years why double down on our mistake
we’ve shown how Perth has no value for broadcasters
they won’t be producing juniors for a decade or more
What’s the point when we have far better options
Perth will provide little to no value for the broadcasters. AwFuL games average 56k viewers in Perth. Their timezone would have an impact as the Thursday and Friday night games are running against the 6pm news. That makes Adelaide a better option for the broadcasters.
It would seem the ARLC has learnt something and is insisting on jnr pathways being a key part of any new club proposal business case. Which is why it goes without saying Perth will have a plan for how it works with the NRLWA to strengthen the local game and I have no doubt will have an SG Ball and JF Perth teams (and possibly a ladies feeder side for NRLW team) in those comps from day 1.
The point is if you dont start the journey you will never reach the destination.
This is all conjectural and smells of delusion. You're trying to cope with the harsh reality that Perth is the least appealing option with the most hurdles in front of it.
Where's the money going to come from to field teams these lower competitions?
Compared to the Storm, it'll cost Perth a lot more to fly them across the country.
It’s kind of selfish wanting a team before brisbane easts when they beat you on every metric
but you aren’t the only one on the expansion forum argue out of selfishness
putting Perth ahead of nz2 or Brisbane 3 is stupid
a mistake pvl is going to make
He has an entitlement complex. He believes thr rugby league community in Brisbane don't matter and exist to prop up teams in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth. At the same time he berates them for preferring Origin over Test matches.
Whats selfish is fans in Brisbane demanding a third club because they dont like the two options they've got. The epitome of greed.
Brisbane RL fans have earnt the right to have a third team due to our love for the game since 1908. Without Brisbane's contribution to the sport then the NRL wouldn't be the largest "rugby" competition in the world. Brisbane RL fans have been under served for decades, yet our commitment to the game has remained strong. Strong crowds and participating rates in Brisbane and across Queensland have benefited every club in the NSWRL and NRL. Take away the strong viewing numbers in Queensland and broadcast rights drop significantly. Take away Origin and the game never reaches Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth.
Perth hasn't provided anything of value to the game and never will because it's a rusted on fumbleball state.
I’m not from Brisbane
Brisbane 3 beats Perth on every metric
the nrl isn’t a charity
Brisbane and Sydney and the Mecca and Medina of the rugby league world.
Except the most important for the games future
More bullshit.
AwFuL games in Perth average 56k in a market that is crazy about fumbleball. The broadcasters won't pay anything for an NRL team from Perth.
50 years down the track maybe
over the next 20 years kind of irrelevant
Brisbane 3 nz2 and png will all be paying off decades sooner
Correct. Perth will be a parasite leeching off everyone else.
maybe, maybe not, but highly doubtful all those three are in before Perth.
Businesses grow attracting new customers in new markets. You think Apple would be what it is if it had stuck to making PC's?
More bullshit.
You're really scraping the barrel trying to cope with Perth's perilous predicament.
Dollphins shows brisbane coverage wasn’t close to optimal
and still isn’t
More can be gained by increasing the amount of Brisbane vs Sydney games. No one will care for Perth.
Maybe, but NRL isnt bringing in another Brisbane club so soon and News ltd wont allow it. Its taken 25 years to get them to agree to an outer suburb club called 'The' admission lol
More bullshit from a bloke not coping with reality.
